Kobe Bryant Named New Hublot Ambassador in LA

A more perfect collaboration could not have been made on Wednesday evening as Kobe Bryant was named as Hublot’s newest ambassador.

The LA Lakers great celebrated his new role with a haute fete on the rooftop of the London West Hollywood.

Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe was on hand to present Bryant with the Limited Edition King Power Black Mamba, a signature timepiece created specifically for the NBA star.

The presentation was followed by a basketball shoot-off with two children from After-School All Stars Los Angeles, a charitable beneficiary of the Kobe & Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation. Simply by taking shots from a makeshift basketball court constructed over the hotel’s rooftop pool, the contest raised $30,000 for the program.
